Obama calls for ethics reform

The AP reports:

Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama accused the Bush administration Monday of pandering to the wealthy, creating what he called "a second gilded age" that ignores working families.

Obama also vowed to push for ethics reforms and touted financial disclosure measures he pushed in Congress and as a member of the Illinois Legislature, calling them a starting point for change in Washington.

In a speech at a school named for Theodore Roosevelt, Obama cited the former president in calling for ethical changes. He said he would ban aides who work in his administration from dealing with former employers for two years, and permanently prohibit administration employees from lobbying.

No word yet from Tony Rezko on this one.It's always nice to hear about a new gilded age from a politician that doesn't want his kids to attend public schools.
